Over the Weekend…
Nov. 7th, 2022 01:51 pmSaturday November 5, 2022 3:58pm
I’m sitting in the parking lot of the Meridian Mall in Okemos waiting for Paige and Brayden to get done shopping. It’s crazy windy here in Mid-Michigan today and when the wind really gets blowing, it looks like tiny tornados with the leaves and trash on the ground. I would hav gone in with them, but its to much walking for me. Sometimes I wish that I had one of those motorized scooter things. It sure would make going certain places much easier for me. It’s all good though, I dont mind sitting out here-it gives me time to do some writing and its quiet in my car, except for Maroon 5 singing in my ear. And, I do enjoy people watching and I dont have to worry about having a panic attack being around too many people. So Win-Win!
After the kids are done shopping, I’m taking them to the Chinese Buffet for dinner. I’ll be in fat girl heaven with the all you can eat sushi bar!! It’s been a hot minute since we were at a Chinese buffet.
My grandson, Brayden (left in pic), was athlete of the week and in the local news paper! He’s a all season athlete; playing football, wrestling, baseball and track. He’s so athletic and loves sports, just like his Dad, my son, Brandon. I’m glad that he isn’t a trouble maker kid and that he uses his energy in positive ways.
Saima’s surgery is coming up fast; November 28th. She’s ready for it to happen. She’s in such rough shape and is just ready to not have all the pain and other symptoms that she has. her recovery is going to be long and painful, but in the end, hopefully, she will no longer have any symptoms and will also be seizure free!! that is the BIG hope!! I plan to spend a lot of time over there, to help in any way that I can. I know that I will be helping alot with Avaya, making sure that she gets to dance class and to and from school.
Ive been trying to do more talking to my mom about her situation with my sister and the home that they own together. It’s a very S*L*O*W process and she gets mad at me a lot, but I’m keeping at it. Of course, anything that I say, she counters with the fact that Michele is mentally ill and has no money to go anywhere else. I feel like I am banging my head against a brick wall when I am talking to her and that makes me absolutely crazy!!
So many people have told me that I need to jut kick her out-tell her that she has to move out. And as much as I wish that I could do that, I cant. She’s my mom and shes 75 yrs old and truly can not afford to get her own place right now. if my sister would start buying my mom out of the trailer thy jointly own, that would make a huge difference. The biggest issue is that they own that damn trailer jointly. My mom cant tell Michele to move out and she cant demand that they sell it. My sister has my mom over a barrel and just doesn’t give a shit what she puts my mom through. She blames my mom totally for moving out of the home and for not moving back in. She says that my mom plays the victim and that she did not emotionally or mentally abuse my mom. We all know the truth and we all know how my sister is; she blames everyone else for everything, takes no blame/responsibility for anything and always plays the victim.
Ive started getting out some of my Christmas decorations, much to my mom’s dismay, lol. I’m painting my Christmas village a cream colored chalk paint and plan to spray paint my small wooded Christmas trees white and restringing lights and garland on them. I had wanted to paint them today, but its been windy and rainy all ay. Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day for that.
Paige has a girlfriend; Sydney. Syd lives in Wisconsin…she met Syd through their mutual friend Spence, where Paige was vacationing last month. I’m so happy for her to finally have met someone, I just wish Syd lived in Michigan, not Wisconsin. That’s just another reason that Paige wants to move out quickly, to Wisconsin!!
The kids are headed out of the mall…on to Chinese buffet and then home. I’ll finish this later………

THE TIME CHANGE SUCKS!!! I wish that they would just leave our clocks alone and on day lights saving time, as opposed to standard time. the change is always hard for me, I do not do well with it at all! I struggle to get my sleep back on track and I just feel off for a couple weeks while my body adjusts to the time change. BLAH!!
My weekend was pretty good; loved spending time with Paige and Brayden. Chinese Buffett was delicious, as always. I pigged out of sushi, crab Rangoon, garlic/pepper chicken and orange chicken. The kids had to roll me out the doors, lol. I was happily stuffed!!
The weather this weekend was insane, lots of people here in Mid-Michigan without power. Our power went out a couple times, but came back on by the time we got the candles lit. I thought for sure we were going to lose it, which rarely happens. I dont have a generator, so I would have had to borrow one from someone. I really need to just buy one, but like I said, our power doesn’t typically go out when others lose their power.
Tomorrow is the election and I am going to vote, as always! I dont talk politics with anyone but Paige. Some people are just too fanatical about their beliefs. I believe that everyone is entitled to their opinions, even if they aren’t the same as mine. I can have a civil debate , but will not get mad and fight about it. I will not talk politics with my mom-shes a total republican fanatic. that doesn’t mean that I am a democrat, it just means that my mom will vote straight republican even if she doesn’t agree with one of the candidates. To me, thats just stupid. But, whatever. I vote for what I agree with and believe in, doesn’t matter the party.
Okay, I need to get busy around here. I want to spray paint a set of Christmas trees that I have white, and the string them with lights and garland. I also have started painting my Christmas village with a cream colored chalk paint. The village is miss matched and I am hoping that painting it will bring it back to life. So far I like what Ive done.
Have a beautiful week!!
